[Dtb-talk] [OT] Training for blind massage therapists

[Greg Kearney]

Please excuse the off topic post. I am hoping that some one here will know who at NFB I should contact or they can pass this on to such persons.

The Association for the Blind of Western Australia is investigating the possibility of establishing a training program for blind and vision impaired persons in massage therapy.

With the closing of the only program of this type in the United States recently we are interested in gaging the interest from North America in such a program. We would offer standard certificates and diplomas in massage therapy at a hand on program here in Perth. Perth is a large modern city with an extensive public transit system, fine wether and a life style similar to that of San Diego. It's a nice place to come for schooling.

If you know of any persons who would be intreated or are interested yourself please feel free to contact me.
